Have Yourself a Merry Little Greeting Card

November 25, 2008

It’s only a matter of time before your mailbox is filled with festive holiday greetings. You’ll get a card from Aunt Ellen, a picture of Jon and Lisa’s brat, and a seven-page dissertation on everything Matt and Terry did in 2008, including updates on their goldfish tank and organic vegetable garden.

This year make sure to send something a little less tacky and a little more unique. Linda & Harriett could be your relief from holiday greeting card hell. The holiday collection includes five note card designs ($18 for a set of eight), including their popular Pigs Kissing card. Additionally, Linda & Harriett is offering three greeting cards ($4.50 each), which are printed on 100% recycled paper; they will also be available as a multi-pack of three cards for $12.15.

Linda & Harriett was started by Liz Coulson Libre in 2005 as a custom hand-stamp invitations line. Liz worked one-on-one with clients to create a design and had rubber stamps made specifically for each invitation. Each piece was hand-stamped, resulting in a fully customized and handmade invitation set.

After deciding she wanted to make her designs available as note card sets, Liz began to experiment with letterpress printing – a form of press printing that grew out of hand printing with stamps and woodblock type. In May of 2007, Linda & Harriett launched its first line of letterpress note cards. And now with the help of its printer in Portland, Maine, Linda & Harriett has a full line of letterpress note cards, oversized flats, and its first calendar. In addition, Linda & Harriett is now exclusively offering custom designed letterpress invitations.
